Pantheon Chemical’s non-toxic surface pretreatment,
PreKote, has been selected by Continental Airlines for use in its
aircraft-repainting program.
Continental
Airlines was the first commercial airline to test the technology following the
United States Air Force’s success with PreKote. A 22-month performance analysis
validated the in-service performance of PreKote, showing excellent adhesion and
paint-quality results. In addition, the PreKote process used on Continental
aircraft at Leading Edge Aviation Services cut process time, eliminated
hazardous chemicals, improved worker health and safety conditions, and reduced
wastewater.
